About this Mod

🚆 Improved Rails

A Minecraft mod that expands the rail system with functional upgrades, underwater compatibility, glowing rails, and conversion tools — making your transportation system faster, cleaner, and more flexible.


WARNING: ONLY VERSION >= 1.0.2 HAS THIS TYPE OF RAIL!!!!

🔁 Turnable Powered Rails

These rails allow minecarts to turn, bypassing vanilla direction constraints. Ideal for compact intersections, custom junctions, or creative track designs.

  • Texture Powered Turnable Rail
    A Powered Rail that supports smooth turning for advanced routing.

  • Texture Always-Powered Turnable Rail
    Like the above, but it’s always active — no redstone needed.

  • Texture Underwater Powered Turnable Rail
    Works like the Powered Turnable Rail, but optimized for underwater tracks with zero friction.

  • Texture Underwater Always-Powered Turnable Rail
    A fully autonomous turnable rail for underwater use — always powered and friction-free.


🚧 Improved Vanilla Rails

These rails are enhanced versions of vanilla rails — no more redstone struggles!

  • Texture Always-Activated Rail
    Like a Powered Rail, but always powered, no redstone needed!

  • Texture Powered Rail with Redstone
    A Powered Rail infused with redstone – think of it as a built-in redstone block.

  • Texture Activator Rail with Detector
    A smart Activator Rail that behaves like it's always connected to a detector rail module.


🌊 Underwater Rails

These rails are modified to eliminate water friction, allowing for smooth minecart travel underwater. Great for underwater bases, ocean rail systems, and aquatic adventures.

There are 7 types:

  • Texture Underwater Rail
    A normal rail adapted for underwater use.

  • Texture Underwater Powered Rail
    Works like a Powered Rail but optimized for underwater.

  • Texture Underwater Always-Powered Rail
    A self-powered rail with no redstone needed, even underwater.

  • Texture Underwater Detector Rail
    Underwater-compatible Detector Rail.

  • Texture Underwater Activator Rail
    Activates minecarts even underwater.

  • Texture Underwater Powered Rail with Redstone
    Combines redstone functionality with underwater performance.

  • Texture Underwater Activator Rail with Detector
    A combo of Activator and Detector functions, fine-tuned for underwater usage.

Developers: You can tag your own custom rails in #irails:underwater_rails to remove water friction automatically!


💡 Light-Version Rails

These rails glow, making them perfect for illuminating dark minecart tracks.

  • Texture Light Powered Rail
    A glowing Powered Rail that provides the same functionality as regular Powered Rails but with extra brightness!

  • Texture Light Always-Powered Rail
    A glowing Always-Powered Rail that does not require any redstone, keeping your tracks always illuminated!

  • Texture Light Powered Rail with Redstone
    A glowing Powered Rail that combines redstone power with built-in light for added visual appeal.

  • Texture Light Underwater Powered Rail
    A glowing underwater version of the Powered Rail, perfect for underwater transportation.

  • Texture Light Underwater Always-Powered Rail
    A glowing underwater Always-Powered Rail with no redstone required.

  • Texture Light Underwater Powered Rail with Redstone
    A glowing underwater Powered Rail that uses redstone to power your underwater track system.


🪄 Magic Wands

Two handy tools to convert rails instantly!

  • Texture 💡 Light Wand
    Right-click on any rail to convert it into a light rail (glowing variant).
    Consumes 1 Coal from your inventory.

  • Texture 🌊 Underwater Wand
